Baked salmon recipe: the preparation

You may not have known it… The secret to cooking fish properly lies in the marinade. You will need to soak the salmon fillets in a mixture of wine and spices for at least eight hours in the refrigerator.

Do this one evening before going to bed so that the fish is ready to be cooked the next day.

• Place the salmon fillets in an oven dish.
• Pour the wine over the salmon fillets and add the garlic and salt.
• Cover the baking dish with cling film and put it in the fridge overnight. We guarantee that the marinade will bring delicious taste to the salmon.
• Once the indicated time has elapsed, peel and cut the potatoes and vegetables into slices or thin pieces.
• When the vegetables are ready, preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius.
• Then remove the baking dish from the refrigerator, remove a little juice (reserve this liquid), and add the vegetables and olive oil.
• Cover the dish with aluminum foil, then put it in the oven, maintaining the same temperature.
• You will have to turn the fillets over after a while. After fifteen minutes, pour in the marinade juice and bake again for fifteen minutes.
• When the dish is ready, let it cool down a bit before serving. You can again add a little juice from the marinade to enhance the taste.
• Your baked salmon is ready to eat!
